Re: Tab control background color
OSX LiveCoders are still awaiting emulated/otherwise tabs that look like proper OSX Tabs. Selected tabs should have white text on dark grey NOT black text an dark grey.

Re: Tab control background color
Hi Jacque, I missed the fact that the color didn't start until under the tabs. Definitely seeing the blending though. It's only noticeable if you pick a light color, harder to see if you use a dark color. Try putting a field next to the tab control and setting both the backgrounds to Alice Blue, I think you'll see what I mean. Maybe blending isn't the right word. What I mean is that the chosen color appears darker than it should, presumably because it's somehow mixed in with the the normal grey background of the tab.

Re: Tab control background color
I see. So my original conclusion stands - - you can't color a tab button. :( On September 15, 2014 11:42:01 AM CDT, Peter Haworth p...@lcsql.com wrote: Hi Jacque, I missed the fact that the color didn't start until under the tabs.

Tab control background color
It seems that if you set the background color of a tab control, it is somehow blended with the standard grey background (this is on OSX). Is there a way round this without having to design my own tab control?
